she loves me, she loves me not

Chapter 34: Pile up

a comfortable silence surrounded the two of them as they gazed into each other's eyes wet from crying, Mac and Gloria both looking intently at both of them ready to see their reaction and record it.

Flaca opens her mouth but nothing comes out, still looking in Maritza's eyes as tears spilled from the corners of her eyes, she slowly shakes her head as a soft sob leaves her lips

"I-I can't"

Flaca says quietly before breaking eye contact with the small Latina and biting hard on her lower lip.

"pussy"

Gloria murmurs

"thanks"

Flaca quietly says clearly hurt by what Gloria says.

"yo, shut the fuck up, you have no idea how strong her feelings are for her"

Mac says defending Flaca

"yeah well she got strong feelings too"

Gloria says defensively.

"I know. That's why I'm not calling her a pussy"

Mac fires back, shooting glares

"c'mon Flaca just ask her, please? you always told me how she's worth everything right? don't you think she's worth a try?"

Mac says calmly.

Flaca takes a deep breath and faces the Latina who was still straddling her, looking at her fidgeting hands and biting her lower lip.

"am I? the girl you were talking about?"

Flaca quietly asks looking at the small Latina for any sign, it felt as if her heart was in her throat, her stomach felt tight with nervousness and her eyes looked like 2 waterfalls, the tears wouldn't stop.

Maritza's head shook eagerly up and down, breath becoming uneven once more and her tears were uncontrollably.

Flaca's expression was priceless,  her eyes turned to Mac for a while, lips separated by a few inches, is this real?

"I'm sorry"

Maritza says sniffing.

"I didn't mean to catch feelings for you, I just did I swear. It's just you're really sweet and-and funny and you get me, and you put up with me, you actually care and- I don't know you're just perfect, I'm really sorry, I know you're in love with this girl and I don't want to be any problem for you."

Maritza says in a panicked tone her eyes roaming everywhere and her hands in the air going from one place to another as she talked. Flaca was lost, she was the girl?

"I don't want things to be, like weird so I'll just transfer to another cube and I-uh I'll change my shifts so you don't have to see me, and uh I'll stop talking to you..."

Maritza continues between soft sobs, Flaca her eyes welling once again only this time it was from happiness, she looks at Mac and Gloria who had their eyes glued to the soon-to-be-hopefully-couple, tilting their heads as they heard Maritza ramble since she was panicked cause she thought that Flaca had no romantic feelings for her.

"what? you're waiting for permission? do it already!"

Gloria says as she sees the tall Latina looking at her with glassy eyes and a huge smirk that was formed by her lips. Maritza was still going on about things she was gonna do so that Flaca wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but that stopped when Flaca crushes her lips into Maritza's pulling her down so that she's laying on top of her, her hands cupping the small Latina's rosy, wet face as she kissed her like there was no fucking tomorrow. Flaca pulls away after a few seconds and looks in the crying girl's eyes,
